The Registrar General's Building, which hosts today's Land Titles Office of the Australian state of New South Wales, is a heritage-listed building located in the Sydney central business district. The building is currently used by the Land and Property Information division of the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation, part of the Government of New South Wales. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]

The building is located near the junction of College and Macquarie street and is set in an historical setting on the eastern fringe of the central business district alongside St Mary's Cathedral, Queen's Square, St James' Church,[2] the Sydney Mint,[3][4] the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Hyde Park Barracks, and Hyde Park.
